This work by Sir James Outram (1803 63), subtitled A Commentary and
originally published in two parts in 1846, is an attempt by the
author to vindicate his reputation which, he believes, was sullied
by Sir William Napier's book The Conquest of Scinde (1845; also
reissued in this series), in which he is represented as devoid
alike of military and diplomatic skill. (William Napier was the
brother of Sir Charles Napier, the British Commander-in-Chief in
India, and his account is not unbiased.) In Part 1, Outram declares
his intention to expose these misrepresentations and to vindicate a
reputation which for a quarter of a century he had 'maintained
unimpeached'. He claims to corroborate his version of events using
personal correspondence, describing in detail and in the first
person the political and diplomatic intrigues and the military
actions which led to the conquest of the Province of Sindh by the
British.
